    thanks for posting @nokoru !:)

    Song is growing on me. Not an instant love like Kibouteki Refrain but ok and groovy. Love Naachans solo line(s)

    The most obvious is the ponytail and shushu reference. I haven't properly listened to the full song yet, just in passing, but it's cool if there are more in there!

    I commented vaguely that the song sounded dated. To clarify, it's the music arrangement that dated.

    Most music these days is made from computerized beat/loop and rarely any dance song these days is not heavily synthesized. Even disco songs from 80's were heavily synthesized.

    This song, on the other hand, sounded very traditional music wise. The music might be computer generated but, dominant sounds were saxophone, guitar and bass.

    And, like typical 48 songs, the vocal track and music tracks did not blend well. This is more of intentional than erratic.

    Upon listening to full version of Ne mo Ha mo Rumor make me realize why the song look so new yet so typical of AKB48.

    The new part of the song is that it is the style of funk (at least on the A side) which is associated with the locking dance style. There are dance movements associated with the locking style which I had detect.

    Jazz split (the end part)


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Which-a-way (chorus)


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Points


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Lock


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    The typical part of the song is that it is not that new that AKB48 had been relying on old school 60’s-80’s style of music like 60’s-70’s French pop (“Labrador Retriever”) and disco music (we may argue that “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie” might or might not considered as disco music but “Halloween Night” can be considered as one and it being released 6 years ago). It might be related with the fact that those are the time of peak Japanese popular culture. The golden age of idol is around that time frame. Even the rise of City pop is based on musical genre in Japan during that time frame.

    A rumor says that today is the Mountain day (yama no hi - 山の日)
    And the members who have Yama (山) in their name are forming the Alpine unit: "Team Mountain" (チームマウンテン)
    Should Yuiri traine the relevant members ?

    Another rumor indicates that Okada Nana who loves chocolate mint is going to change her hair color to choco-mint after the Majimuri stage play which ends today

    Ahem.

    "According to rumour, Nana-chan who loves choco-mint is going to change her hair colour to SUPER HYPER CHOCO-MINT after the play is over.
    By the way, it seems that pre-sale of tickets for the Majimuri play ends today! (Hamo)"

    The stage doesn't even start until the 20th :^^;:

    I feel bad for AKB cause it's blatant to me that from this single they're trying to do the most to become relevant again taking advantage of the slow decline Nogizaka is having due to all their aces graduating and quality of members slowing down... but, it's just not going to happen.
    It's not like if the GP will not care anymore about Sakamichi groups and they'll lose their japan top idols status, people will suddenly care again about AKB which in Japan is seen just as a vintage group good just for a throwback and supported mostly just by old otaku losers.
    They could slowly recover the gap from Nogi that has been formed in these years, but they'll still be irrelevant to the GP and behind these Sakamichi groups. These big idol groups are not a thing anymore in japan.

    AKB might not be gaining as much interest domestically as before, but I believe they’re far from being a legacy act, not until Sakamichi Group has an equal international impact and appeal. Cheers

    maybe sakamichi groups should collaborate too with questionable k-pop groups and projects to gain more "international impact and appeal"?

    Can you imagine a k-pop choreographer trying to convince Sakamichi girls to move their hips in a dance? :lol:

    Not sure if that’s a good business move but before PD48, AKB had already made world records and been selling things here and there
